FAQs

Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?

Granted, BSM Services are geared towards adults 21 years of age and older. However, most wineries, cideries, and breweries are relatively kid-friendly, in order to accommodate entire families. BSM is happy to escort families about town, provided their children are well-behaved in the company of adults in adult environments.

What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?

BSM custom-tailors unique touring experiences for every type of outing, and not just those relegated to alcohol production. BSM is happy to provide drop-off and pick-up door service, as well as remain in waiting with the car nearby an event venue. BSM also obliges by accompanying guests during their experiences, and fetching the car at appropriate times. BSM is effectively a “hired car” for the duration of the tour experience or outing, from 9AM until as late as 2AM, as required.

What can I bring into the event?

Certain items such as alcohol, food and/or firearms/weapons may not be brought into certain alcohol production facilities. BSM qualifies in advance which stipulations exist at which venues. Check with BSM in advance, prior to bringing any questionable items along for the tour experience.
